Expense A Major Factor?

[State Of Zen]

I'll preface this by saying this is TOTALLY hypothetical, but I was just curious... If vaping (and all the costs associated with it) were regulated by big brother to the point where it equaled/exceeded the cost of analogs, would you A) Go back to analogs , B) Continue vaping, or C) Neither, and quit both. ?

Personally, I would continue vaping to the point of where the cost equaled analogs, but if the cost FAR EXCEEDED analogs, I'm not honestly sure. I would be interested to hear what you all think. Peace.

keep vaping. I have made homemade PV in the past I can do it again. worst comes to worst, I will vape 0 nic.

 

[Krazirob]

i would do like castro said. totally live off my own made PVs and juice.......if i cant get nic then ill be doing 0 nic. cant go back no matter what....LOL

 

[Joeyjoe]

I'm thinking nic is the only thing they can tax-regulate that would raise the costs..I would seriously try to wean off the nic if prices got equivalent to analogs here at 10 bucks a pack.

 

[mcol]

I live in the land of cheap analogs and I'm about even per day smoking analogs vs. vaping
anyway.
I can afford to pay more but I'm not going to - I would tell them where to stick it. NOT
paying more period. And NOT smoking analogs either. Done. Finished.

And will then probably jump on a bandwagon to tax and control everything they're starting
to claim is bad for you - including junk food, soda, fast food restaurants, alcohol, you name it.

 

[Nermal]

Like the op, I would stay with the vape. If that went way beyond the smoking cost per day, I'm not really sure. Zero nic, I suppose, but can't really say.

 

[Bryan lord]

Def keep vaping at 0 nic. At 12mg now so I don't think it would be that rough. Just need to find a tasteless liquid that gives throat hit.

Won't go back to smoking. Already realized the benefits of quitting. Might quit all together, but I DIY so like RYO it would likely be cheaper for me.

 

[Crash Moses]

I'd vape zero nic unflavored if it came down to that. Never going back.

 

[CommaHolly]

I vape 0mg and DIY,,,,,,,,,,so it would be hard to get that expensive,,,,,,

but you ask a good question,,,,,I really don't know. If the cost of VG and PG suddenly went sky high,,,,,,,I'd probably quit vaping all together,,,,,,,

I can't imagine it,,,,,,,,but I KNOW I don't want to pay as much as I paid to smoke for ANYTHING again.

 

[grandmato5]

That's an easy question I'd continue to vape.

 

[jow350]

I'd keep vaping. I'm DIY already, would just have to find me a black market source for NIC (or bite the bullet if NIC was available legally), everything else is food flavoring anyway.

 

[Ref Minor]

I rolled my own cigs at about $25 a week, this is about the same as brand pre filled cartos and cig a likes, if that was all that was available I would vape cig-a-likes. I reckon I could also do 0 nic.

 

[Plutoker]

Go the homemade liquid route and stiff the man. If material cost got insane like CommaHolly said, I'd throw in the towel.

 

[peterforpats]

started smoking and a pack was @ $.55. swore when it went over a $1.00 I was finished, done, finito end of story. guess what? I rationalized every price increase and kept on smoking. well, I now vape and enjoy it far more than I ever did smoking(have the hardware and juice to prove it). I don't care what the price goes to for any of it- I feel better and healthier and I will justify any and every price increase and keep on vaping. I aint going back.......

 

[AngiBe]

I wouldn't go back to cigs...Im at 18 mg now, probably need more but i would go to zero before giving into cigs. BT would win then and I want nothing more then for them to go buh bye

 

[tom_chang79]

Probably quit altogether. I haven't hanged any "I saved $XX.XX much from not smoking" banners because I have exceeded what I would normally pay for in analogs with vaping.

I've been justifying vaping, APVs, Tanks, E Juices, by continuously saying to myself "at least I'm not smoking anymore" before hitting the "Submit Order" button on my Vape purchase.

Since I'm truly off the analogs, I will probably end up going towards the patch solution, then try quitting altogether...

Realistically, I'll probably end up with addiction to sugar and end up severely overweight and die of diabetes if what the OP wrote were to become true...

I have nothing to add that hasn't already been said...........except ROCK CHALK!!! About time I found another KU fan on here!

 

[Rickajho]

I won't play. Y'all are gonna drive yourselves nuts with the "what if'?"'s about this situation. "What if" nothing happens for another year? "What if" nothing happens at all? "What if" the earth gets run over by a bus tomorrow? Just how much anxiety do you want on your plate for today? Or the next month? Or six? Or the rest of your life?

I can't afford to build an addition to my house to hold the "what if?" warehouse and a life time supply of "what if??" to fill it. If or when something actually happens I'll deal with it then.

 

[Dusif]

I would be making my own supplies somehow so i could keep vaping, this has become so much more than just a new addiction... Its a hobby... A passion... Its a lifestyle that i truly love.
